You have to create one. Create a file called .xsession in your $HOME directory. Minimally, it will need to look similar to the following. #!/bin/sh xmodmap [your arguments here] xterm & # start with an xterm opened exec fvwm # change this to your favorite windowmanager Make this file executable: $ chmod +x $HOME/.xsession Restart X. You may or may not need to make a symlink to ~/.xsession if you are starting X from the command line rather than from xdm. I think, debian has it setup so this isn't necessary, but if your script isn't being executed, try: $ ln -s .xsession .xinitrc . -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
